Unbelievable! Man impregnates wife’s best friend, assaults brother-in-law

A 53-year-old man, Raymond Oladimeji, was on Thursday brought before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court for allegedly punching his wife’s elder sister’s husband and damaging his phone.

Oladimeji’s wife had packed out of their matrimonial home, allegedly after she discovered that her husband had impregnated her best friend.

She reportedly moved in with her elder sister and her (sister’s) family, along with her children.

Taking away the children with her reportedly angered Oladimeji, who had requested his brother-in-law to release the children to him.

The accused, who resides at Ita-Oshin area of Abeokuta, is facing a two-count charge of assault and malicious damage of property.

The prosecutor, Insp. Olakunle Shonibare, told the court that the accused committed the offences on January 14 at Ita-Oshin, Abeokuta.

Shonibare said the accused assaulted Mr. Ojo Damilola, his wife’s elder sister’s husband, for refusing to release his children to him after his wife packed out of his house with the children.

According to him, Oladimeji had impregnated his wife’s best friend, which angered his wife

“The wife packed out with her children to her elder sister’s house.

“The accused went to his wife’s elder sister’s house and met the husband, Damilola, and told him that he came to pick his children.

“Damilola refused to release the children to him because the mother of the children was not at home.

“The accused got angry and gave him a blow on the face and also bit his right thumb.

“During the fight, the accused willfully damaged one Samsung phone valued at N74,000, property of Ojo Damilola, by hitting the phone on the floor,” Shonibare said.

The offences contravene Sections 351 and 451 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Ogun, 2006.

The accused pleaded not guilty and was granted bail in the sum of N80,000 with one surety.

The Magistrate, Mr. Idowu Olayinka, adjourned the case to April 20 for further hearing.
